8 ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE PROCESS The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is a California statute passed in 1970 to institute a statewide policy of environmental protection.¹ The draft CEQA environmental document is expected to be circulated for public review in early This informational meeting is not meant to address CEQA requirements. The CEQA comment period is the public s opportunity to submit comments that will formally addressed within the CEQA document. While you may voice support or opposition for a project, the most beneficial comments include the following: Specific alternatives or mitigation measures that would provide better ways to avoid or mitigate any potential environmental effects of the project Concerns that are not addressed in the environmental document Inaccuracies or missing information Statistical data or facts to support your concern Please let us know if you would like to receive advance notification of document circulation. ¹ California Public Resources Code et seq. 8

9 SFFD OPERATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS 9

10 SAN FRANCISCO FIRE DEPARTMENT MARINE OPERATIONS 1989 Marina District Fire The Phoenix was a vital tool in the Marina District during the chaotic aftermath of the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake. the Phoenix delivered critical assistance to the conflagration at Beach and Divisadero Streets, saving countless homes. Bay Risks Water rescue, fire operations, EMS, body recovery, spill containment, Emergency Firefighting Water System (EFWS) and Auxiliary Water Supply System (AWSS). Significant maritime traffic and several bridges. San Francisco International Airport (SFO) generates 1,500 2,000 flights with runway approaches to the Bay Commercial ship traffic brings significant tonnage of freight across the Bay. Ferry and cruise companies carry millions of passengers per year around, and in and out of the Bay. Oil refineries for Chevron, ARCO and Shell; jet fuel companies such as Kinder Morgan in Bay Area. 10

11 LOCATION OF SFFD MARINE OPERATIONS St. Francis Yacht Club (2) Jet skis (1) Rescue boat Fire Station 1 SCUBA/tank filling Pier 22 ½ / Fire Station 35 (3) Fireboats Fire Station 9 Oil containment booms Fire Station 33 Spare firefighting hose Fire Station 49 / 1415 Evans Ave Firefighting foam 11

12 FIRE STATION NO. 35 PERSONNEL 21 total members are currently assigned to Fire Station No members on shift at any given time. Engine No. 35 Company (4) firefighters Fireboat Company (1) officer (1) pilot (1) marine engineer Staffing of the fireboat was reduced as a cost saving measure. Firefighters from Engine Company 35 staff the fireboat. 12

13 SFFD MARINE RESPONSES AND CALL TYPE # of Incidents Responded to by SFFD Marine Units (2016) Water Rescue: 162 Medical Incident: 40 Outside Fire: 66 Structure Fire: 38 Alarms: 23 Other: 12 High Angle Rescue: 7 Watercraft in Distress: 3 Citizen Assist: 1 Based on SFFD Calls for Service dataset from DataSF s Open Data portal: 13

14 SEA LEVEL RISE AND PROJECT SOLUTION 14

16 SEA LEVEL RISE Notes: 1. Current tidal datum information collected from National Geodetic Survey data for Tidal Station ID , PID# HT0759, VM# Projected Mean Higher High Water (MHHW) levels collected from the 2014 City and County of San Francisco Sea Level Rise Committee Report, Guidance for Incorporating Sea Level Rise into Capital Planning in San Francisco: Assessing Vulnerability and Risk to Support Adaptation, as taken from the 2012 National Research Council Report, Sea-Level Rise for the Coasts of California, Oregon, and Washington: Past, Present, and Future. 3. Tidal data above does not include consideration for El Niño events, storm surge, storm waves, and wave run-up which all affect the local water level in addition to sea level rise. 16

17 SEA LEVEL RISE RESPONSE OPTIONS Type of Pier Pros Cons FIXED PIER Pier Construction = $6.4M Total Site and Building = $14.3M Total Construction Cost = $23.3M TOTAL PROJECT COST = $36.7M Build on site More contractor participation due to conventional construction No dredging and sheet pile required Residents in the building not subject to motion Building roof will be higher for Planning review Pier and building will be subjected to high seismic loading Need to place pier higher than sea level rise prediction Steel piles and beams require corrosion protection and inspection for life of pier Require impact pile driving. Environmental issue, limited FLOATING STEEL PIER Pier Construction = $6.3M Total Site and Building = $14.0M Total Construction Cost = $23.1M TOTAL PROJECT COST = $36.6M FLOATING CONCRETE PIER Pier Construction = $8.6M Total Site and Building = $16.3M Total Construction Cost = $27.0M TOTAL PROJECT COST = $42.4M Building roof will be lower for planning review No dredging and sheet pile required Adaptable to sea level rise Limited impact from seismic activity Less environmental impact, fewer piles to drive Separate boarding float may not be required Building roof will be lower for planning review More durable against corrosion and deterioration Adaptable to sea level rise Limited impact from seismic activity Less environmental impact, fewer piles to drive Separate boarding float may not be required Limited contractors can do the project Need special treatment coating and sacrificial steel for corrosion protection for life of the project Residents in the building will be subject to motion of the pier Utilities to the shore will need flexible joints Access ramp will need to adjust per tides Require periodic dive inspection Limited locations in Bay Area where it can be built. Needs to be transported to site Limited contractors can do the project Need epoxy coated rebar for corrosion protection for life of the project Residents in the building will be subject to motion of the pier, less than steel floating pier Utilities to the shore will need flexible joints Access ramp will need to adjust per tides Require dredging and sheet pile Limited locations in Bay Area where it can be built. Needs to be transported to site 17

18 Marine Engineering: STEEL BARGE 18

19 Marine Engineering: EXAMPLES OF BARGE SUPPORTED STRUCTURES Gildersleeve School (Ketchikan, Alaska) The Gildersleeve School in Ketchikan, Alaska was constructed on a 68 ft x 80 ft reinforced concrete barge. The school building has two levels with an apartment on the 2nd level. Vernon C. Bain Prison Barge (New York, NY) Built in New Orleans along the Mississippi and brought to New York in The 625 ft x 125 ft steel barge is equipped with 14 dormitories and 100 cells for inmates. Brooke Street Pier (Australia) 4-Story Concrete Barge; Floating Ferry Terminal, Public Space, and Market Barge 225 (Cleveland, OH) 150 ft x 45 ft steel barge was converted to a restaurant and then to an office space in

20 DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION 20

21 The first piers.beginning in 1908, were built south of the Ferry Building with façade designs drawing on Spanish missions of California and more generally on Mediterranean vernacular architecture. National Register of Historic Places 21

22 The fireboat house can be seen as a Renaissance Revival structure for its elegant proportions and perfect axial symmetry and for its appearance as a tightly contained cube. City of SF Landmarks Designation Report 22
